     For the last 14 months because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Catholics in the Archdiocese of New Orleans have been excused from their obligation to attend Sunday Mass. Now that the virus has been tamped down through social distancing and vaccinations, Archbishop Aymond will restore the Mass obligation on June 6 - the Feast of Corpus Christi (the Body and Blood of Christ). On this day, we will celebrate God’s loving invitation to set aside Sundays to receive his gift of the Eucharist with one another and to spend quality time with those we love. This is how we respond to Christ’s invitation to “come to the table.”
     It is understood that there are those for whom returning to Sunday Mass is impossible. Those who are homebound or who live in nursing homes or hospitals as well as those who are sick or vulnerable, or who are fearful because of underlying health conditions are excused from attending Mass in-person on Sundays. However, those who cannot attend are invited and encouraged to participate via television or online with live streaming and to make an Act of Spiritual Communion.
     For those of us who have now begun to more frequently shop, socialize, go to the gym, and participate in other activities outside of our homes and have not yet returned to Mass, you are encouraged to consider the Lord's invitation to "come back to the table."
     Please join us in celebrating the Eucharist on June 6th.
